First two raps are pretty awesome IMHO. the lean wit it rock wit it kills it. |
My exact thoughts. As soon as he started rapping, "Lean wit it, rock wit it," I didn't know what to think. Like someone mentioned before, it comes off more gimmicky at that point than being authentic.
Overall, I still think the song could be a HUGE hit. The verse have a fresh sound you wouldnt typically hear on the radio, and the "ah" in that pre-chours rule pretty hard. The chorus is catchy, and I'm also glad they went into that bridge after the second verse instead of another chorus (bridge instrumentation was pretty rad too). Even when the "lean wit it" part came in, they some how managed to save it and make it work with the way the arrangement built up. Just my opinon. Everyone's free to think what they want. That's why there's multiple genres of music. Everyone wins.
Still really interested to hear this album. Fueled By Ramen has been on fire lately with mainstream releases. They're doing big things.
